I found this nugget that I rememberd from when it was posted, while I was having a look through.

I suspect this is the wrong venue to use to write to complain about Coronation Street, but after much searching, this is the only site I could find with an email window! Would the clever "sound gurus" working on Coronation Street please consider we poor Canadians when putting the sound into the "background" at Rovers Return? I know the sounds are added, but the effect is lost when the sound masks the actors' dialogue. We Canadians are struggling with the accents as it is, and lately, it's been impossible to hear what's being said in the Pub. Thanks.
